chaotic behavior [kā′äd·ik bi′hā·vyər] (mechanics) The behavior of a system whose final state depends so sensitively on the system's precise initial state that the behavior is in effect unpredictable and cannot be distinguished from a random process, even though it is strictly determinate in a mathematical sense. Also known as chaos. How to thank TFD for its existence? Tell a friend about us, add a link to this page, add the site to iGoogle, or visit webmaster's page for free fun content. |

| In general, chaotic behavior of computed trajectories for Hamiltonian systems is called chaotic scattering [14,15]. The band's extensive touring and generally chaotic behavior have taken their toll though, fracturing the band for about a year. Although Jeener rightfully worries that chaotic behavior may amplify the unwanted signals in NMR experiments, swamping the meaningful signals, the presence of chaos could also prove to be a benefit, Warren notes. |
